Yes, Calvinism is still believed in a number of different churches. The "Reformed Theology" follows all the teachings of Calvin as outlined in their statements of faith, and Heidelberg Catechism.

The Episcopal Church follows the via media or "middle way" between Protestantism and Roman Catholic doctrine and practices: that is both Catholic and Reformed. The Episcopal Church traces its history from the Church of England and stresses its continuity with the early universal Western church.Taken from Answers.comIts history come from breaking away from the catholic church, but still hold on to some of their traditions.

The Puritans were English Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries, including English Calvinists. Puritans felt that the English Reformation had not gone far enough, and that the Church of England was still too tolerant of practices which they associated with the Catholic Church. Puritans were fundamentally anti-Catholic and felt that the Church of England was still too close to Catholicism and needed to be reformed further. Puritans were unable to have these reforms implemented and most left the Church of England and many emigrated overseas. Particularly in the years after 1630, Puritans left for America, supporting the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and other settlements.
The "pilgrims" at Plymouth Colony were Separatists; they had given up on the idea of reforming the Church of England and wished to separate themselves from it.The colonists of Massachusetts Bay Colony (founded ten years later) were Puritans; they believed that the Church of England could still be reformed ("purified"). However, they did not think of themselves as "pilgrims"; the Massachusetts Bay Colony was primarily a business venture.
The only difference is that in a Reform congregation a woman is allowed to read from the Torah. Otherwise the Torah is used the same way in both sects. Please note that it is Reform Judaism and NOT Reformed. Reformed would mean that the religion has stopped evolving. Reform Jews believe that Judaism should adjust with the times and that is why it is Reform as opposed to Reformed..it is still changing.
It would be nice to know which beliefs. Many people left the Roman Catholic Church, believing Martin Luther to be right where it comes to salvation according to Scripture. Conservative Reformed traditions still hold to the doctrines that were revived by Luther's influence.
Yes! the church will still accept you.
